Description
Estimating Subnational Public and Private Contraceptive Supply Shares Over Time.
Description
Engaging the private sector in contraceptive method supply is critical for equitable, sustainable, and accessible healthcare systems. This package implements Bayesian hierarchical models to estimate public and private contraceptive supply shares over time at national and subnational levels, using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data. Penalized splines are used to track supply shares over time, and spatial correlation structures link national and subnational estimates in data- sparse settings.
